Im going with Triceratops Carcass

These have all been popular pieces, but the winner was Takama, who correctly guessed Triceratops Carcass. Hopefully we'll see similar pieces in the future, and I've got my fingers crossed for a big sauropod carcass. Congrats to Takama - please feel free to send an e-mail or PM when you're ready to redeem your prize.

2014 marks the 250th anniversary of the discovery of the very first remains of:

A.) Iguanodon
B.) Megalosaurus
C.) Mosasaur
D.) Hylaeosaurus
E.) Hadrosaur

[brandem]

Mosasaur?

[amargasaurus cazaui]

megalosaurus

[Dan]

The winner was brandem. The first mosasaur remains were found in the famed Maastricht limestone quarry in 1764. One can only imagine the awe of discovering a mosasaur skull long before such things were known to exist. Congrats to the winner - please feel free to send an e-mail or PM when you're ready to redeem your prize.

During preproduction on "The Good Dinosaur", Pixar ordered several models from Dan's Dinosaurs. Which of the following was among the pieces ordered?

A.) Papo Velociraptor
B.) CollectA Camptosaurus
C.) Carnegie Allosaurus
D.) Apatosaurus by David Krentz
E.) Bullyland Ankylosaurus

[Invicta Hunter]

Apatosaurus

[postsaurischian]

A.) Papo Velociraptor

[Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus]

Grrr. I would have said apatosaurus. 
Well, I'll have to go with Ankylosaurus?

[Takama]

A.) Papo Velociraptor

I hope not, that means there not following modern scientific accuracy.

[Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus]

A.) Papo Velociraptor

I hope not, that means there not following modern scientific accuracy.

We'll come on, it is an animated "children's" movie, after all! 
Plus, the big bad raptors from JP are what many people today think of when they hear "raptor".

[Dan]

Not many options remaining, if anyone wants to take a guess? We'll do a more academic question next.

[Patrx]

The CollectA Camptosaurus?

[Seijun]

Carnegie Allosaurus

[Dan]

The winner was Seijun. As you've noticed, the design team for "The Good Dinosaur" did not gravitate toward a realistic design aesthetic - most studios I've worked with place little emphasis on the science - but it was still an honor to be involved. Congrats to the winner - please feel free to send an e-mail or PM when you're ready to redeem your prize.
